Amelia Chords & Lyrics - Matthew Perryman Jones

intro: [E] [A] [E] [A]

[E]Sad like a melody sung by a symphony
[A]striking a cho[Am]rd.
[E]Standing here looking blind,
stumble around to find my [A]way through your[Am] door.

[D] +6add9 [E]
Do you wanna know why?
[D] +6add9 [E]
Do you wanna know why?

Bridge: [A] [E] [A]

[E]Hungry as starving fire killing to feed desire.
[A]What do you [Am]do?
[E]We’re born into vanity, bones feeling everything.
[A]Are we alo[Am]ne?

[D] +6add9 [E]
Do you wanna know why?
[D] +6add9 [E]
Cuz I wanna know why

[A]Say [Am]it, A[E]melia
[A]Say [Am]it’[E]s true,
[D] +6add9 [Am] [A]
that life’s worth all the dying we do.
Oh, A[E]melia

Bridge: [D] +6add9 [E] x2

[A]Say [Am]it, A[E]melia
[A]Say [Am]it’[E]s true,
[D] +6add9 [Am] [A]
that life’s worth all the dying we do.
Oh, A[E]melia

Bridge: [A] [E] [A]

[E]A beautiful melody sung by a symphony,
[A]you’re striking a c[Am]hord.

[END]

things to remember:

1) when playing the verse parts, all A notes should be played as so:

e| x
B| x
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -

while the rest of the A notes should be played like:

e| x
B| 2
G| 2
D| 2
A| x
E| -

2) for the D+6add9:

e| x
B| x
G| 3
D| 4
A| 5
E| -

3) before "Oh, Amelia" i found that it sounds better to stop strumming after A and
on E. let it hanging on for a bit.

4) i just learned guitar a few months ago so comments and improvements are welcome.
